About Ednina
In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and the Gottman Method to match tools to each person’s needs. That can mean learning new ways to handle difficult thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or improving communication in close relationships. She aims to help people make small, steady changes that fit their daily life.
Ednina has 11 years of experience working in community and clinical settings. Her background includes helping people with trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and other complex situations. She strives to respect differences in culture and life experience.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. People are invited to set realistic goals and try approaches that feel useful. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and adjusted as those needs change.
Ednina practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. If a reader wants to explore working together, the next step is to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Ednina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on accepting internal experiences while taking steps toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with health challenges.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop new behaviors for managing stress, mood, and addiction concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during a lunch break, keep regular check-ins, or use brief sessions when schedules are tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
